GEORGE H. PHILLIPS, OF TROY, NEW YORK.

fipecifieatien forming part of Letters Patent No. 83,790, dated November3, 1868.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE H. Prnnmrs, of Troy, in the county ofRensselaer and State of New York, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Cooking-Stoves; and I do hereby declare that thefollowing is a full and exact description of the same, reference beinghad to the annexed drawings and to the letters of reference markedthereon, making a part of this specification,in which- Figure 1 is aperspective view of a cookingstove with my improvements therein. Fig. 2is a longitudinal vertical sectional view; and Fig. 3 is a perspectiveview, showing the back end of said stove with the water-reserv irremoved therefrom.

The same letters refer to like parts in each of said figures.

My said invention consists in constructing the back plate of acooking-stove with a hollow shelf or ridge projecting horizontallybackward, and in curving or raising upward and backward the rear endpart of the top plate, over and above the vertical flues at the back andabove the top edge of the rear end plate of said stove, and therebyextending upward above the horizontal plane of said top, and above theexit-aperture or pipecollar thereof, said rear vertical fines, in such amanner as to form by such extension hot-air or heating chambers thereat,which are used in combination with a water reservoir or tank arrangedthereat and connected therewith for warming and heating water, all inmanner substantially as hereinafter fully described and shown.

The construction of my said improvements in cooking-stoves is asfollows: The rear plate of said stove is made in form so that its upperpart, 0, is plain or straight, and at about its central part it projectshorizontally back or to rearward of the upper part 0 sufliciently toform a shelf or ridge part, F, and then turning and continuing downwardto the bot tom of said plate, and in a curved or box-like form from sideedge to side edge, so as to form a recess below said shelf part F, allsubstantially in manner as shown in Figs. 2 and 3 of the annexeddrawings, and so as to be cast together in one piece and form a solidplate thereof.

The top plate A of said stove, at its rear part, is curved or raised upabove its boilerhole or horizontal plane, and backward and up from theexit-passage or pipe-collar J, and over and above the vertical flues atthe rear end of said stove, and above the top edge of end plate 0, whichtop edge is on a horizontal line with the boiler-hole plane of said topplate, the jambs or side plates D of said stove being carried up attheir back upper ends, so as to cover the side ends of said raised partof the top plate A, and thus form at the rear part of said top plate, bythus extending the rear end vertical lines upward in manner as shown,the hotair or heating chambers H H H, open at their rear sides, andabove the horizontal plane of said top plate A, all substantially inmanner as shown in the annexed drawings.

Awater reservoir or tank, E is now arranged in combination until thesaid improved stove by placing the water-reservoii"s bottom part on andover the aforesaid shelf or ridge F,

and its front side next adjoining the plane part 0 of the back endplate, while the upper part of its front side covers and forms the rearside of the heating-chambers H H H aforesaid. The water-reservoir is nowsecured in its thus-arranged position by bolts securing its front top orupper part to the stove-top, or in any other suitable way, so that it isthereby secured in permanent combination with said improved backend-plate and topplate heating-chambers, the same as and of acooking-stove, substantially in manner as shown in Figs. 1 and 2 of theannexed drawing,

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

1. Extending the rear end vertical lines of a cooking-stove upward abovethe horizontal plane of the boiler-hole top plate A and the top edge ofthe rear end plate 0 thereof, which is in the same horizontal plane, bycurving or raising upward and backward above its horizontal plane therear end part of the said top plate, thereby extending said fluesupward, so as to form at and above their upper ends, and above thehorizontal plane of the stove A, hotair or heating chambers H H H, openat their rear side, in manner substantially as herein shelf F and boilerE; substantially as and for shown and deseribed,for the purpose setforth. the purposes described. 2. The combination of the upwardextension of the rear flues of a cooking-stove over the PHILLIPShorizontal plane of the top plate, and the ele- Witnesses: vation of therear part of the top plates, Where- J. J. SAVAGE,

by hot-air chambers H are formed,with the I. L. BARNEY.
